In the Race to Sell, Sometimes a Stager Has to Shift Gears - 08/24/08 06:23 PM
Yesterday morning, I was scheduled to perform consulting duties for one of my favorite RE agents. The particular client I was scheduled to meet with is notably motivated to sell their home as their new custom home is near completion (it will be move in ready in approximately 2 weeks). Because of these circumstances, the agent went against the usual stage-list-show schedule by placing the listing on the MLS without photos before I had been there to steer the seller in the right direction as to how to prepare their house for the market.
Generally, I try to arrive 5-10 minutes … (14 comments)

Moving Forward - The SIF Week in Review Aug 17- 23, 2008 - 08/24/08 01:45 PM
No matter what hot topics may temporarily sidetrack us, a continuing theme in the SIF community is moving our industry forward. This past week, there were quite a few posts designed to do just that.
In an effort to continue what Craig and Yvonne started, SIF has joined forces with RESA to put on another set of Round Table discussions designed to help us work together by communicating with one another to work out the bugs within our industry. (I stole Karen's graphic, isn't it nice?)
In reference to these discussions, Maureen Bray asked us to give our inputon what topics would be most … (13 comments)

A Guide to Stage it Forward - Why We Delete Posts - 08/14/08 02:36 PM
It has been the topic of discussion many times - why did my blog get deleted? Why do we have to be monitored? Isn't this censorship? I don't think it's fair...and so on and so forth.
To set the record straight once and for all, I thought I would write and post a 'guide' of sorts to help everyone understand why we do the things we do and to avoid the inevitable backlash of blog deletion. Because I will delete a post if I have to, no matter how much people throw a fit about it.
So, here it is in … (24 comments)

In Case You Missed It - The SIF Week in Review Aug 9, 2008 - 08/11/08 03:19 AM
In case you missed it, and the date on this post is confusing you, this is a 2 week review. A lot of things have happened here at SIF in the last two weeks.
We had a Big Debate. Some called it heated, and it may have been, but I don't read comments much with so many blogs to read. It seemed a valid discussion and one we all be having in earnest sooner or later if we are to advance our industry. Anyway, to the best of my ability, this is the thread:
Ever Get Paid at Close of Escrow? (Members … (22 comments)

Bear With me....I'm Trying!!! - 08/10/08 04:18 PM
My apologies again for not having the week in review up. If you have been on AR today, you know there are many glitches with the new features they have added.
I am crossing both fingers that you see this post, because I have not been able save a draft in any of the 5 times I have attempted to do so. All of my attempts to start a post have been lost the minute I hit the post button. I was trying to periodically save a draft as every two or three clicks through AR to link to other posts … (0 comments)

Where's the SIF Week in Review? - 08/03/08 10:15 PM
Well, sorry to say that there isn't one at the moment.
You may have noticed that I have not posted the last two. Thanks to Kathleen Garvey and Karen Dembsky for covering those while I attended the All American Soapbox Derby Championships with my family (my youngest competed in the stock division).
And thanks, also to our phantom moderator who covered that for me while I was away. ;)
Anyway, it has been a crazy week after 8 days in Ohio - the laundry, the cleaning, 2 family birthdays, etc., etc., and furthermore, etc.... Today, I de-staged one property and delivered furniture … (8 comments)
